The New Theme at WPCult

The release of Galleria, a gallery child theme of Hybrid
As the WordPress community grows, so does the amount of available themes. Galleria is a gallery-style child theme for WordPress built on the Hybird theme framework. Originally, this theme was created by Chirs Wallace for the Thematic theme framework and released at Smashing Magazine.
So I am excited to announce another theme release from WPCult and Frosty Web Designs. A few days back, I came across this post at Smashing Magazine.
Just recently we asked you to let us know what theme you would like us to release next. Among numerous comments we found many request for a gallery-theme that could be particularly useful for portfolios and showcases. At the very same time Christopher Wallace has been designing an advanced gallery-WordPress-theme for the design community and Smashing Magazine’s audience. And today finally we are proud to release it – for free, of course.
Well, I liked this theme, and while I am a big fan of the Thematic theme, I know there are many out there who love Hybrid. Hybrid is Justin Tadlocks theme framework, which can be downloaded for free at http://themehybrid.com/themes/hybrid.
Just an FYI, this site is running hybrid as a parent theme. 🙂
So…
I contacted Chris and told him of this theme port I would be doing. After a few days of modifications, bug fixes, and styling, the theme is ready for public release.
While Galleria shares a few qualities with his sibling, the differences are notable in the style, color, and layout throughout the theme, including the theme options.

The new design in progress
Okay, so by now you may notice something. You may be thinking “the site looks a lot different”, and you are correct. Over the past few weeks I’ve decided that the site needed a different flare and feel. While many and most site’s these days are popping up with featured posts, and jQuery sliders, I wanted to steer away from that and go old school. While I had some trouble’s activating the theme today which didn’t allow me to fully finish the theme, 99% of it is done.
The site is still build on the powerful Hybrid theme framework. Enjoy.

Nice clean layout, though I would have made the main navigation a bit taller along with the font and making it a bit brighter. Otherwise, I like all the other implementations that you have done.
One thing though, your contact form isn’t showing up 😉

Hah, I would check out the fix but seems as though you have to be a registered “exclusive” member to read his replies.
What a joke…..
